Hyper V - Create New VM Failed, VM in Saved State and Cannot be Deleted or Changed

I attempted to create a new VM using SCVMM. The new VM failed and I received an error about a network adapter (I configured the VM with no networking). The VM is in SCVMM and it's state is "Saved". When I attempt to redo the job, delete the VM or delete saved state I get the following error:

"An error occurred while attempting to delete the saved state for the selected virtural maching(s).

'vm-name' failed to change state.

The operation cannot be performed while the object is in its current state."

Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

Thanks,

Al

Does the host machine have multiple Ethernet adapters? Have they been configured for VM's?

The host does have multiple Ethernet adapters and about half of them are already configured for other VM's.

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
